Be it known that I; ALFRED J OHNGBEAVES, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, reside ing at 1-1,'Rye' Hill Park, .Peckham Eye, in

the county of London, England, have in-;

vented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Receptacles for Mustard and. Other Condiments of Which the following is a specification. E I a -V; This invention has'reference toreceptacles for its object to provide improved means. for maintaining the contents of the-receptacle in a usable condition :tora comparatively long time and for ejecting a limited;

The invention Will be hereinafterfdescribed as providing a receptacle. for mustardv for Which'purpose it is particularlyisuitable although it will be understood that The invention consists in a receptacle hav ing a mixing chamber located therein and m'eanswhereby a'quantity'of mustardis introduced by suction into said' mixing cham-.

her and ejected from the receptacle-by suc v cessive movements of one part or member of said chamber relatively 'to the other part or parts. 1 1 g f The saidmixing chamber is preferably di-,

ment ofthe said movable part 'in one direction, movement of the said movable part in the other direction causing the mustard in one of said compartinentsto be returnedto .the body of the receptacle thereby agitating the mustard. and preventing separation of the thicker and vvateryportions While the" mustard in the other of the .said compart- J ments is expelled from the mixing chamber and. discharged from the receptacle;

Vanes extending acrossthe said compartments subdivide each of them intotwo the arrangement being such thatlupon each movement of the said movablepart mustard is drawn into one subcompartment and ex-., pelled from another-back into the receptacle While at the same time a quantity 'of-mus-i tard, in a third subcompartment is r discharged from the receptacle.

The mustard discharged from thie recep-- rtacle is received into a delivery chamber,

or conduit provided Witha discharge valve adapted to be opened against the action of r a springor the like by means ofa pin which the mixing chamber and so that the mustard expelled irom'therecep understood -and{ readily carried into effect I will now proceedto describe the same more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings in whichz Y t Figure 1 1s a front elevation;

Figure 2 is alongitudinal section taken a't l i right angles to Figure V w Figure 3 is-an underneath times of Figure 4 is a sectionalplan talien on' the' line A-A.in Figure 2. a Y The body of the receptacle as of cylindrical form is denoted by vthe numeral 1' and-the mixing chamberlocated r therein by 2., The mixingchamber is'prefvvhich is shovvn erably provided WltlflfigCOIllGIl or dished top] I v 3, a side Wall 4, and a bottom 5, the top and sidebeing rotatable relatively, to the bottom and the aperture 6 extending throughthe top and bottom. Dividingthe mixi'ngchajmber intotwo; compartments is the partition 1 I 7 ,-While carried by the bottom 5 are the up standing-vanes 8,18 which subdivide each compartment into two. Formed-inthe said bottom areslo'ts 9, and formed Cll'l'OI'; carried, by the said bottom 5iis'a'pin'orprojectioni10 adapted to engage in a recess ll in the bot-, F

tom-of the, receptacle'so, as'to prevent more; a than alimited' movement of the said bottom I 5. The mixing chamber 2 is s'pacedirom, the rbottom of the. receptacle by the spacing member 12' -having: apertures 12', therein to permit the mustard to pass freely throughthe-aperture 6. In" order tofpermitthees cape of air-"from the1 mi'xing chamber any- L. deslred number of holes 3 may be :made 1n the top 3.

' Secured to the-partition 7 ofthe mixing chamber is the spindle 18 'Which at its upper part is provided Witha square or other suit-, able rend'fittingfvvithin a socket in the lid or cover 14;. The lid or cover 14 is formedWith-f a slot or'recess in which engagesfa. pin or stud-'15 projecting inwardly from the rotatable r' ring 16 'sp'iinon .or otherwise. ro-' tatably secured to the body of the receptacle,

It will beiobvious that if-desired the lid: lt i and ring 16 may be rigidly secured together or'm'ay be made integrally. -',Withlthisar-f I rangement, a movement of rotation ofgthe -mixing chamber 2.

therefore are capable .on'ly ofi-an oscillating movement at the beginningof each oscillating movement the bottom--of the mixing chamberand'with it the vanes 8, 8' also moving to? the extent permitted by the? engagement'bf the*pin--1'O: in the recess- 11. Formed in the all 4 of the mixing chamber is la-circumferential slot"1 8 "(Fi-gure't) in which engages a projection or hook 17 carri'ed'bythe vane8 Whileformed in the body 1 of the receptacle is an* orific e-19 (Figure l WltllWlllCll the's'lot'18 is adapted'to reg isten; the movement ofthe'bo'ttom 5 bringingtheproje ction 17 on vane*8" to one side or the other of the; said orifice 19.

' T Themovement ofthe partition 7 over the orifice 9 in the bottom'will cause aquantity ofm-u-stard to be drawn" upwardly intothe mixing chamber through-the orifices 9 due to the pa'rtial' vacuum produced as the partition"? moves away from the vanes 8 M8,
